Let's face it, no matter how well you take care of your skin, under eye bags and puffiness can be a persistent and unsightly issue. These issues can be caused by a number of factors such as genetics, aging, or lifestyle habits like smoking or lack of sleep. Luckily, there is a permanent solution to under eye bags: lower blepharoplasty. Not only does this procedure get rid of under eye bags, it also creates a more wide awake and refreshed look. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of lower blepharoplasty and how it can help you achieve your desired look.

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat pockets and can even offer a smooth and seamless under eye area. Known as under eye fat grafting, this procedure can help you achieve a more natural, youthful, and wide awake look that you've been dreaming of. The procedure is done through small incisions made under the lower lash line, or in some cases through the inside of the eyelid, called the transconjunctival approach. With this procedure, the under eye fat can be repositioned and even transferred to other parts of the face to correct volume loss.

The benefits of lower blepharoplasty go beyond just an improved appearance. While the procedure is often performed for cosmetic reasons, it can also help with vision impairment caused by sagging skin and excess tissue. This can be caused by aging, genetics, or a combination of both. In addition, lower blepharoplasty can help correct the appearance of tear troughs, which can create a hollowed out and tired look. This will provide a seamless transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek, giving you a natural and youthful appearance.

The recovery time for lower blepharoplasty is typically about one to two weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's individual recovery. The first few days post-op, patients may experience bruising and swelling which will lessen over time. Patients can return to work and regular activities after seven to ten days, although strenuous exercise and activities should be avoided for several weeks post-op.

If you're looking for a permanent solution to under eye bags and a refreshed, wide awake look, lower blepharoplasty is the answer. With this procedure, excess fat pockets are removed and repositioned, creating a more natural and youthful appearance. The benefits of lower blepharoplasty extend beyond just an improved appearance, as it can also help with vision impairment and correct the appearance of tear troughs. The recovery time for this procedure is minimal, and the results are long-lasting. Book a consultation with Dr. Kassir to see how lower blepharoplasty can help you achieve the look you desire.
